Biography

Natsumi Murakami was born in Tokyo on 7 September 1995.[1][2] Her motivation to become a voice actor came from a reading drama where a junior high school English class spoke to an Alice in Wonderland book; her classmates gave her the impression that Alice's voice was cute, and she became interested in the voice acting profession.[3][4] The perspective of the anime that she liked originally changed, and she was impressed by Miyano Mamoru's performance in Death Note.[3]

As a junior high school student, she could not work part-time and did not have the money to attend lessons, so she concentrated on schoolwork. After completing exams, Murakami started looking for a school she could study voice acting.[4][5] Murakami attended hands-on classes at several vocational schools and training schools, and seeing good tension in it, decided to enroll in Keiko Yokozawa's school, where she started learning the basics of voice acting.[4]

Her debut anime was in Aikatsu Stars!, where she voiced Ako Saotome.[3][6] She mentions Ako Saotome as a turning point in her voice acting career, and says that she is important in her life.[3][5] In addition to Saotome, she also cites Wobblinger-Milli, a character she voiced in the video game Quiz RPG: The World of Mystic Wiz, as leaving a lasting impression on her.[5][7]

She voiced Ai Miyashita in Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars for the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.[8] She reprised the role for the project's anime adaptation, which premiered in 2020.[9]

Personal life

She has level 2 Kanji Kentei certification.[1] Her motto is Naru yō ni naru (なるようになる).[3][5]

She described her goal as to play an orthodox heroine in a romantic comedy.[3] She cites Ikue Ōtani and Rie Kugimiya as her admirations.[5]

Her favorite foods are meat and white rice[3] and Japanese curry.[5] Her favorite anime is Cardcaptor Sakura, which she has been repeatedly watching since kindergarten,[3] and her favorite musician is aiko.[3][5] She has a pet dog named Moka (モカ).[3][10]

After she started fishing, which is one of her hobbies, she began to like it because she caught a lot of fish.[3]

On June 30, 2022, Murakami tested positive for COVID-19.[11]
